Does anyone remember the Dick Tracy soundtrack, which was all sung by Madonna? I had it when I was a kid and there's a song called "Going Bananas" where she's singing in an accented Carmen Miranda-type accent.
I was just at the supermarket and the guy bagging his groceries next to me had this HUGE bunch of bananas. There must have been about twenty bananas in that bunch. I was super SUPER tempted to ask him if he was a monkey, or had a monkey at home. It was on the tip of my tongue, I was looking at him and smiling, but he was this really wan timid tired looking early-thirties salarymandude and he probably would have had me arrested.
I also have some bananas to use up and I made these really kick ass banana flapjacks yesterday. So easy, so delicious. The recipe is from Vegan Vittles.
3/4 cup flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup mashed banana (about one small)
1/2 cup soy milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Mix dry, then mix wet, then combine. Fry in a non-stick or lightly oiled pan on medium high until golden on both sides. The batter's thicker than traditional pancake batter, but they turned out great. The recipe says it makes 2-4 servings, but I think it's closer to two. I made about three six inch pancakes, could have made four slightly smaller ones.

Hey, she could be talking about most of the men in this country!
And the other one that I hear in my brain a lot is--
Let's DANCE, you can do a little two-step. I'll go anywhere that you step too, cuz I'm following you.
Hey Warren Beatty was pretty suave.
My feet, may be dancing out of rhythm, don't know what I'm doing with them but I know I'm following you.... unlikely as it is to me... la la la
